Quikrete Companies 692296 Concrete Forming Tube 18x12

Product Description

The QUIKRETE COMPANIES 692296 is a heavy-duty concrete forming tube designed for casting cylindrical concrete columns, piers, and footings. Measuring 18 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length, this fiber-based form tube holds poured concrete in place while it cures, then peels away cleanly after the pour. It is a standard tool on residential and light commercial construction sites wherever round concrete columns or deck piers are required. At 34.5 pounds, the tube is manageable for a single installer and is sold individually, making it easy to order exactly the quantity a job requires.

This forming tube is used by concrete finishers, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople on foundation piers, deck support columns, fence posts, sign bases, and structural support columns. The 18-inch diameter suits applications calling for larger-diameter pours, such as heavy deck footings, commercial signage bases, or structural columns in light commercial construction. It is set vertically in a prepared excavation, braced as needed, filled with concrete mix, and stripped after the concrete reaches adequate strength.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style fiber concrete forming tube suitable for use with ready-mix or bagged concrete in residential and light commercial column, pier, and footing applications.

Installation Notes

Concrete forming tubes of this type are typically installed by concrete finishers or general contractors working under applicable local building codes. Before pouring, ensure the tube is plumb, properly braced, and positioned at the correct depth per project specifications. Do not strip the form until the concrete has reached adequate cure strength as determined by mix design and ambient conditions. Consult local building codes for footing depth, rebar requirements, and inspection requirements before proceeding.
